Malgai Podi is also fondly called gun powder, which makes it obvious just how fiery it tastes! The spiciness of red chillies combined with the aroma and rich taste of roasted dals and asafoetida makes this South Indian spice powder a really tongue tickling treat. Malgapodi is mixed with til oil or ghee and enjoyed like a chutney with idli and dosa . It can also be sprinkled on Uttapa to give it a special taste and hue. While making Malgapodi Powder, make sure you roast the ingredients separately as mentioned in the recipe, to ensure uniform roasting without charring. You can store this powder in an air-tight jar for a month or even more, and serve it as and when required.
